Sittin' And Thinkin'

Lyrics

I got loaded last night on a bottle of gin

And I had a fight with my best girlfriend

When I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend

So please baby wait for me until they let me out again

I know the same thing has happened before

And each time it happens, I hate it more and more

When I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend

So please baby wait for me until they let me out again

I spent a whole lotta time sittin' and thinkin'

Sittin' and just thinkin' 'bout you

If I didn't spend so much time sittin' and drinkin'

We'd still have the love I thought we knew

I won't promise the same thing won't happen again

But I can promise, it'll be a long, long time till then

'Cause when I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend

So please baby wait for me until they let me out again
